Did a little work on an ORV (Brat, hopefully) project. Painted the transmission side plates and assembled it with a new housing. Also added an AmPro skid plate. Screenshot_20230428_204023_Gallery.jpg The Frog diff is assembled with re-re outdrives and the "Old Frogshot" mod. The idle gear ...

I tried some different setups.... mainly tire and spring changes, but by the time the mains came around on Sunday I was back to where ...

A few final pics. The TRA2615 wing buttons are both inexpensive and nice. That's my preferred combination.
